What happened at our May 2025 meeting?
Wednesday, May 7 was the second meeting of 100 Who Care Tecate. We heard presentations from three worthy local charities and then enjoyed a potluck dinner.
Receiving $500 awards were Cultura del Autismo presented by Eduardo Arredondo, and CIPAM presented by Veronica Chang. With extra donations from members included, Cultura del Autismo was awarded $4,328 and Cipam was awarded $2,542. Cultura del Autismo provides diagnosis, therapy and other services for children with autism. They provide the only services available for this condition in all of Tecate. CIPAM is in the early stages of building group homes for homeless seniors with the hope of facilitating sharing of skills and knowledge among the residents.
Our big award ($35,249 including extra donations) goes to Sowing Seeds of Life and Family presented by Blanca Fisher. They run a shelter for abused young girls and also provide education and skill training so the girls can function as successful adults. Our award will be used to help fund the tutoring and private education for the girls.
What happened at our November 2025 meeting?
Wednesday, November 5 was the third meeting of 100 Who Care Tecate. Due to circumstances within their organizations, two of our presenting nonprofits withdrew their nominations but are hoping to present at a future date. We look forward to them participating when the time is right.
Because of the late timing, we were unable to secure and vet alternates in time for the November meeting. But we heard from one worthy local nonprofit, the Sean Eduardo Sanchez (SES) tennis center, and they received our biggest financial reward of $16.213 this time.
CAREM (Tecate Community Museum) received $1839 ($500 from our circle and some additional personal donations) and Hospital Infantil de las Californias received $500. We hope to hear from them both in the future.
